In the end fetch was supposed to supersede all these libraries. Unfortunately in cases like this seems like Node.js, and JavaScripts's lack of standard library really shows. Every developer will use whatever either they encounter first because they don't feel like learning a new shiny library or whatever is the most comfortable and maybe not right. NPM has its positives - discoveriblity being one for sure but also its drawbacks - million ways of accomplishing the same thing.

Axios after fetch being standard everywhere starts to feel like jQuery after document.querySelectorAll being available everywhere.
